There’s nothing like a Christmas shopping trip to get you in the holiday spirit! One of my favorite places to kick off the holiday season is Saybrook Home. The store is completely decked out for the holidays and has the best selection of holiday ornaments, candles and décor.
Saybrook Home is a premier holiday shopping destination in Connecticut. This year my mom and I decided to make a day of it by shopping for festive outfits in the Apparel Shop, Christmas décor in the Home Shop and even had some time to enjoy a nice cozy lunch at the onsite restaurant, Aspen. Keep reading for all the details of our day!
HOME SHOP
Our first stop was the Home Shop. I’ve heard amazing things about the holiday décor at Saybrook Home, but was completely blown away when I walked in. Every corner of the store is decorated top to bottom with the most beautiful Christmas décor. It’s like walking through a winter wonderland. From décor, wreaths and greenery, to candles, dinnerware and more….Saybrook Home has just about every festive detail you can imagine. Keep reading for some of my favorite holiday decor and gift ideas!
– Greenery –
One of my favorite things to purchase this time of year is faux greenery. I love using it to enhance my garland and wreaths or to fill vases throughout my house. I was so excited to see that Saybrook Home had a huge selection of greenery to choose from. They have just about any winter green you’d be looking for and at an affordable price. I also noticed they had a fabulous selection of faux wreaths in all different styles.
– Ornaments –
One of the best and most sentimental gifts to give at the holidays is an ornament. They can be so personal and are often cherished for years to come (I always write the date and who its from on the bottom of mine!) I was very impressed with the unique selection of ornaments at Saybrook Home. Shopping for ornaments in the Home Shop is easy, they have several themed trees decorated throughout the store. I was immediately drawn to the nautical-inspired tree (I bought the cutest oyster ornament!) and the tree dedicated to our pets!
– Dinnerware –
Are you hosting any dinner parties this holiday season? If so, you’re in luck because Saybrook Home has the perfect linens, plates and decor to ornament your dining table. How beautiful is this Christmas tablescape?! I love the plaid linens, chargers and seasonal centerpiece. I can’t help but picture this festive scene in MY dining room this Christmas!
– Candles –
I was also thrilled to find that Saybrook Home carries my favorite Christmas candles – Frasier Fir by Thymes! This scent is warm and cozy – smelling of fir needles, cedarwood and sandalwood. Fasier Fir candles are very fragrant and smell just like a fresh cut Christmas Tree. Saybrook Home carries a huge selection and variety of candles in this line – ranging from small votives to statement size 4-wick candles (burn time of up to 80 hours!). They also carry a variety of other products in this fresh scent including diffusers, hand soaps and home fragrance mist. Anything from Fasier Fir line would make a great host/hostess gift this holiday season!
ASPEN
Before continuing onto the Apparel Shop, Mom and I grabbed lunch at Aspen (located right next door). Aspen is a great cozy spot to relax and grab a bite to eat. We sat by the fireplace and enjoyed a bowl of soup and our favorite grilled hearts of romaine salad. Lunch at Aspen was so convienent and the perfect little break we needed before continuing on with our day!
APPAREL SHOP
Our last stop before heading home was the Saybrook Home Apparel Shop. My calendar is already booking up fast with holiday parties so I was in desperate need of festive clothing. The shop is known for carrying curated designer clothing including Lily Pulitzer, Eileen Fisher, and AG Denim to name to a few! After only about 5 minutes of browsing, I knew we came to the right place! I grabbed every festive thing that caught my eye and put together a little holiday outfit idea try-on for you. For a closer look at each outfit, be sure to check out my try-on session over on Instagram!
– Coat Drive –
From now until November 27th, Saybrook Home is hosting a Coat Drive. Bring your gently worn coats or jackets to the Apparel Shop to receive $20 off your apparel purchase of $100 or more! Saybrook Home will donate all outerwear to someone in need.
That’s a wrap! My mom and I had such a wonderful time shopping at Saybrook Home, it certainly got us in the holiday spirit! We both left with a few Christmas gifts (and a few gifts for ourselves!) If you’re interested in visiting Saybrook Home, their address, directions and hours are located HERE.
